    civil violation, should we jail people who parked illegally? rather than a fine? should you get deported if you park in the wrong place? Should parking violations be part of people’s criminal history?

    imagine being unemployable due to a parking violation.

    civil violation ≠ crime, and doesn’t make someone illegal

    someone cannot be illegal, they can do illegal stuff but you cannot be illegal.

    Existing isn’t a crime.

      I never said anything about jail. Just that being undocumented is in fact illegal. The rest is just you projecting your morals onto a simple statement of fact.

        “Being” isnt a crime. again, civil violation doesn’t make you a criminal.

        and it is quite racist to declare immigrants who committed no crimes as “being” illegal.
